This event is organised by Wetsus in collaboration with Delft University of Technology and Wageningen University and Research. With this conference, we want to showcase and celebrate the experiences, lessons, and results of more than 15 years of worldwide experimentation and upscaling of resource recovery.

Now, it is time to transform these from concepts to business examples. Resource recovery is a very inspiring topic, but it has not been an easy journey, and many lessons have been learned in upscaling novel technologies and developing new markets. This conference will be a meeting point between academia and industry to ensure that research and industry can learn and inspire each other, thus working towards scaled-up and impactful solutions. It is also important to spotlight future water leaders, the Young Water Professionals, and strengthen their connection with policymakers to ensure that the potential of resource recovery is stimulated rather than hindered by legal frameworks. Shaping the future and improving current practices can only be achieved through collaboration.

This event is the perfect opportunity to do so, via inspiring discussion and meaningful connections. We look forward to welcoming all of you to Leeuwarden to make the circular use of resources a reality.
